I just loved Chaotic Home’s tip – make sure you check it out – and after reading it, I quickly hopped over to Rocks in my Dryer. Totally inspired by these ladies’ wisdom, I decided I must share their ideas with you in case you hadn’t already seen them.

As for my idea – well I phoned Susan (techie twin and the other half of 5 Minutes for Mom) and asked her if she could think of anything that worked. So she suggested her daughter’s favorite “toy.”

Yes, 11 month old Julia has
a house full of toys, but her favorite toy – the one item sure to fascinate, entertain and calm her down, even in the middle of the night – is a plastic bowl, complete with lid, filled with puzzle pieces.

That’s hilarious!!! It’s the small things that entertain children, isn’t it??? And of course … why not … it makes sound, it moves, you can touch it, take it apart, put it together, open the lid, close the lid, shake it some more …

See? Even I had fun with this idea!!! LOL!
